At noon on the second day, Yi Cheng came to Biluo Teahouse again, asked for a single room, drank tea and ate snacks, and about a quarter of an hour later, Shopkeeper Liu came to the room and said to Yi Cheng: "Xiao Shaoxia, the young master of my family promised to see you." Please come with me! "

Yi Cheng nodded when he heard this, let Shopkeeper Liu lead the way, and got up to follow.

Shopkeeper Liu took Yi Cheng out of the door, came to the backyard, entered his study, and when Yi Cheng entered, he carefully closed the door.

Then walk to the bookshelf, take out a book on the left side of the middle floor, reveal an inconspicuous bump underneath, and press it down.

Only a rattling sound was heard, and Yi Chengcheng saw the originally empty wall next to the bookshelf open to reveal a secret door.

Shopkeeper Liu made a gesture of invitation to Yi Cheng and said, "The young master is waiting inside, and he won't go in if he is down." "

Yi Cheng didn't worry about their deception, and walked in according to his words.

Passing through a short passage, Yi Cheng came to a secret room, which was beautifully furnished and gave people a strong sense of nobility.

Directly in front of the secret room stood with his back to Yi Cheng, looking at the back of a young man, he was wearing a purple robe, looking at a map on the wall in front of him.

Hearing the voice, he turned around and said to Yi Cheng: "You are here, sit down, I asked someone to make a pot of good Qingxin tea, you can taste it." "

As if a friend who hadn't seen him for many years had returned from afar, Yi Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy when he heard this, and secretly felt that this person was extraordinary.

Yi Cheng was not polite, sat down and took a sip of the teacup, and felt a fragrance flowing down from his throat, making people feel comfortable and refreshed.

Yi Cheng praised: "Good tea!" "

Put down the teacup, and then carefully look at the person in front of you.

This man was twenty-six or seventeen years old, tall, ruddy-complexion, with long hair tied in a bun, buttoned by a golden crown, and indescribably calm and calm all over his body.

At this time, they were also looking at Yi Cheng, and the two looked at each other and smiled, but they felt a little old.

I only heard the purple-clothed young man say: "I have been famous for a long time Xiao Shaoxia's name, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, since Master Ge could let you come here, he must have also told you my identity." In front of outsiders, my name is Gongye Zhaolie, and here my name is Xiang Zhaolie. "

Yi Cheng heard the words and said: "Gongye Zhaolie, Xiang Zhaolie, Gongye (Gongye), hey, it's hard to be the prince." My name is Yi Cheng, and my father is Yi Anguo. Everyone else calls me Xiao Yat (Xiao Yi). "It's also a little bitter after speaking.

Xiang Zhaolie glanced at Yi Cheng again, both of them had a sense of sympathy, and they didn't dare to use their names openly, what a misfortune.

Xiang Zhaolie asked Yi Chengdao at this time: "What did Master Ge let you bring, Master Ge he..."

Yi Cheng's face was also a little gloomy, and he said, "Senior Ge didn't let me bring anything, just asked me to send something." "

After speaking, Yi Cheng untied the Tai'a sword from behind him, removed the package on it, revealed the sword body, and handed it to Xiang Zhaolie with both hands.

Xiang Zhaolie's face froze, he stood up and took it with both hands, groped it carefully, and after a while, Xiang Zhaolie held it above his head with both hands, facing the south, kneeling on the ground, and said: "Father, the child is not filial, he failed to wash away the hatred of the country, and he is ashamed of the ancestors of the Xiang family." After speaking, he kowtowed to the ground, and his face was full of sorrow.

Yi Cheng also knelt behind Xiang Zhaolie at this moment, and secretly said in his heart: Father, should I kill Xiaobai, my father's hatred is not shared, but the child really can't do it, Xiaobai's death will be chaos in the world, I can't bear to watch innocent people flee like we did back then. What should I do, father? "

After a long time, Xiang Zhaolie stood up, put the Tai'a Sword on the table in front of him, turned to Yi Cheng and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, is Master Ge really already...?"

Yi Cheng nodded when he heard this: "Senior Ge and Gu Nan, the martial king of Qi State, worked hard, and died of serious injuries, what I saw with my own eyes is true." So Yi Cheng told the events of that day in detail.

Xiang Zhaolie listened to what Yi Cheng said, his face was full of sadness, and said: "Since I left the palace, Master Ge has been by my side, he taught me martial arts, protected my safety, and was discovered by the people of Qi several times, all of them were rescued by Master Ge, although he respected me as the prince, but in my heart he is my master." Now that I am dying for my restoration of the country, how can I not be sad, hey, you and I are like each other at first sight, you don't call me the prince, and I don't call you Shaoxia, how do we compare brothers? Brother Yi, can you have a few drinks with me today? When Master Ge was here, he always said that alcohol can mess with sex, and I must always be sober, and I was rarely allowed to drink, but today I want to get drunk. "

When Yi Cheng heard this, he was also a little sad in his heart at the moment, and he even had the idea of being drunk, so he nodded and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Brother Xiang has this intention, and the younger brother should accompany him." "

Xiang Zhaolie saw that Yi Cheng agreed, so he knocked a few times on the wall behind him, and after a while, a person walked in from the passage, in his thirties, and his skills were not weak, and he had martial arts cultivation, Xiang Zhaolie instructed him a few words, and the man turned around and left, and when he came back, there was an extra tray in his hand, on which were placed two pots of wine and a few delicate side dishes.

The man set the wine and food on the table, poured a glass of wine for the two, bowed to Xiang Zhaolie, and retreated.

Xiang Zhaolie picked up the wine glass and said to Yi Cheng: "Come, it's done." After saying that, Tong Yicheng clinked glasses and tilted his head and drank it all.

Yi Cheng also drank the wine in the cup, and the two of them poured it all over, and drank it all again.

After a few cups of drinking, Xiang Zhaolie said to Yi Cheng: "Do you know Lu Dao, since leaving the palace, Master Ge has taken us to hide in Tibet, and we dare not stay for a long time in every place, and we have been in fear for several years, like a lost dog." Only when you come here can you settle down. Every day, the people around me will tell me to accumulate strength, so that I can make a comeback in the future, recapture the hometown of Chu, and wave my army to the north to avenge the hatred of destroying the country! "

Xiang Zhaolie took another drink, and then said: "So I also think that this world is originally my father's king's, and it is Dachu's, and I want to take these back." "

After speaking, he stopped, looked at Yi Cheng silently, and asked, "I know that you have traveled a lot from south to north, and your father is my general of Great Chu, so do you think it is possible for me to regain everything I lost?" "

When Yi Cheng heard this, he was silent for a long time, drank the wine in the cup, and said to Xiang Zhaolie: "With all due respect, it is very difficult, it is never the case that the past dynasties have lost the country and then fought back, it is not the problem of the ability of those who have lost the country, but the general trend of the world, after the war, the people just want to have a peaceful life, no one wants to have another war, the people's hearts have been lost, and it is difficult to succeed." After speaking, he looked at Xiang Zhaolie.

Xiang Zhaolie listened to Yi Cheng's words, his face was gloomy, and he said: "You are right, later when I became an adult, Master Ge followed me to hide my identity and travel around, and the places I passed were stable and prosperous. Coming to the hometown of Chu, the people gradually forgot the existence of Great Chu and were content with their lives at the moment. That Xiaobai is indeed a virtuous king, appointing people as virtuous, strict in law, and the people are getting richer and richer. I knew then that it was impossible to take it back. But the old ministers around me are not reconciled, their whole life, even several generations of people are the ministers of Great Chu, they are not willing to let Great Chu perish from here, they always think that as long as I am an adult, I will definitely respond to every call in the land of Great Chu, hey, they have been deeply trapped in it and can't extricate themselves. Where do the people care who is under the world, as long as they have enough food and clothing, they will be content to live and work in peace and contentment. "

Xiang Zhaolie's face was no longer gloomy at this time, but he regained his calmness and calmness when he first met.

Seeing this, Yi Cheng said, "What are you going to do now?" "

Xiang Zhaolie said: "Before you came, I was also hesitating, but recently you sent this sword, and I have already made a decision in my heart. Let me sell it first. I don't know if you can come here again in half a year, I have something to ask for. "

Although Yi Cheng had already decided that he would not serve the crown prince, he felt a little cordial after seeing Xiang Zhaolie, so he said: "Yes, I will go to the appointment on time!" "

Both of them were drunk for four or five points at this time, and the wine in the pot had been drunk, and the bitterness in Yi Cheng's heart had also faded, so he got up and said goodbye: "I have to see Brother Xiang today, it is not in vain, but I can't get drunk today, I will get drunk with Brother Xiang another day, I will leave first." "

Xiang Zhaolie also got up and said: "Hey, you and I have only known each other for a long time, but we have a good conversation, no matter what, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and we will conspire to get drunk next time you come." "

Yi Cheng then walked out of the secret room, and Shopkeeper Liu asked him to guard in the study at this time. Seeing Yi Cheng come out, he didn't ask too much, and left the backyard with Yi Chengcheng.
